Thin Line

Still stuck in this pit you dug for me Trapped with the memories, good and bad Walking the tightrope of love and hate Why did you go and mess up what we had? You dug this hole with your greedy hands You pushed me in and then walked away So deep and dark, so abandoned I thought you were such a great man I really hoped we would last forever But you style my heart and everything Then you begged me to always be your lover But to me you are now a stranger Your many betrayals still sting and burn The hate is so hot in my heart But the missing makes me yearn You changed so quickly, I don't know which one you really are Who did I fall for? A liar, a cheat, a thief It really is a thin line between live and hate I cross over it several times a day

Thank you! This was a few years ago but I do still wish he had stayed the guy I dated instead of the one I married. I just think about it less so I'm getting there:)
